Cậu ấy đã đi thăm một số lâu đài Động từ visit được thêm đuổi ed thành visited dạng q khứ đơn của động từ visit It began to rain. Trời đã bắt đầu mưa.

Andy đang ở Paris Động từ stay chia thành was staying tương ứng với chủ ngữ số ít là Andy We were walking in the park. Chúng tơi đang đi bộ trong cơng viên Động từ walk chia thành were walking tương ứng với chủ ngữ số nhiều là We II. KHÁC BIỆT TRONG CÁC CÁCH SỬ DỤNG 1. Khác biệt 1 • Thì q khứ đơn dùng để diễn tả một hành động đã hồn thành tại một thời điểm trong q khứ. • Thì q khứ tiếp diễn nhấn mạnh sự việc đang xảy ra tại một thời điểm trong q khứ. Ex: I did my homework at 4 p.m. yesterday. Tớ đã làm xong bài tập lúc 4h chiều hơm qua. sự việc đã hồn thành vào 4h chiều qua. I was doing my homework at 4 p.m. yesterday. Tớ đang làm bài tập vào lúc 4h chiều qua. vẫn đang diễn ra, chưa hồn thành vào 4h chiều qua My parents got up at 5.30 a.m. yesterday. Sáng hơm qua bố mẹ tớ dậy lúc 5h30. My sister and I were sleeping at 5.30 yesterday. Chị tớ và tớ vẫn đang ngủ lúc 5.30 sáng qua 2. Khác biệt 2 • Thì q khứ đơn: diễn tả một chuỗi các hành động trong q khứ, hành động này xảy ra sau hành động khác. Thường dùng kết hợp với các từ nối như and hay then. • Thì q khứ tiếp diễn: diễn tả các hành động xảy ra song song đồng thời. Thường sử dụng liên từ while, có nghĩa là trong khi. Ex: She came home, opened the window and turned on the TV Cơ ấy về nhà, mở cửa sổ và bật tivi. một chuỗi các hành động diễn ra lần lượt. She was watching TV while her husband was cooking Cơ ấy đang xem tivi trong khi chồng cơ ấy đang nấu cơm. 2 hành động xảy ra cùng lúc She came in the room and then looked around for a seat. Cơ ấy vào phịng và sau đó tìm một ghế để ngồi. He was playing a mobile game while the teacher was speaking. Cậu ấy đang chơi game trên điện thoại di động trong khi cơ giáo đang giảng bài III. KẾT HỢP THÌ Q KHỨ ĐƠN VÀ Q KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN Kết hợp thì q khứ đơn và q khứ tiếp diễn, sử dụng when hoặc while để diễn tả một hành động đang xảy ra thì hành động khác xen vào • Thì q khứ tiếp diễn được dùng để diễn tả hành động đang xảy ra, thường là dài hơn, lâu hơn và được đi với while hoặc when • Thì q khứ đơn diễn tả hành động xen vào và ch ỉ đi với when . LƯU Ý: • Khi When hoặc While đứng đầu câu thì cần có dấu phẩy ngăn cách 2 mệnh đề. • Khi when hoặc while đứng giữa 2 mệnh đề thì khơng cần dấu phẩy. • Khơng dùng when và while trong cùng một câu. Ex: When the phone rang, we were having dinner Khi điện thoại kêu, chúng tơi đang ăn tối Trong ví dụ trên, the phone rang là việc xen vào nên chia ở q khứ đơn và đi với When, cịn we were having dinner là việc đang xảy ra nên chia ở thì q khứ tiếp diễn Câu trên cũng có thể viết thành: The phone rang while we were having dinner Điện thoại kêu trong khi chúng tơi đang ăn tối Trong câu này, we were having dinner chia ở thì q khứ tiếp diễn, đi với while. Liên từ while đứng ở giữa câu nên khơng cần dấu phẩy When the teacher asked me a question, I wasn't listening. Khi cơ giáo hỏi tơi, tơi đang khơng chú ý lắng nghe.

Read the passage and do the tasks below Nowadays, amid the storming development of hightech devices such as smartphones or ebook readers, people seem to neglect the existence of certain inventions that date back thousands of years. One of those is the mirror People grew a desire to see themselves as they saw their reflections in the surface of water. Around the 600s BC, the first mirrors were made from natural materials such as polished stones. After a while, people started to use bronze, gold and silver to make mirrors. These metals were heavy, so mirrors had very modest sizes. Rulingclass people, especially ladies, used them as a fashionable accessory. Hardly did they go out without a mirror. In the 1st century, the first glass mirrors were invented by the Romans and were made bigger to allow people to look at the whole body. However, not everyone cherished the mirror. Some people were irritated to find themselves ugly looking at the mirror, and there were rumors that what they saw in the mirror were reflections of sins and demons Nowadays, despite technological advancement, mirrors still play important roles in various modernday fields, such as surgery, transport, architecture and so on. In fact, mirrors are utilised in technology and have inspired the inventions of several devices such as cameras or satellites. Part 1. Determine whether the following statements are True, False or Not Given. 1. People appreciate inventions that date back a very long time. A. True B. False C. Not Given 2. The images produced by the first mirrors were not as clear as by the surface of water. A. True B. False C. Not Given 3. Only rich people could buy mirrors made from metals. A. True B. False C.
